hi christian
if you have a raid-root-fs, then
i think the problem is that the kernel cannot load
the modules unless the rootfilessystem is mounted
and /lib/modules/.... is available. but without
the module, a mount is not possible. :-o
have you tried with compiled in support ?
ps: nice to see an another austrian on the list :-)
